Hang on a minute, the Silence of the Lambs is not a horror movie...(only kidding!). I agree the awards are a joke at times. I suppose the Walking Dead isn't pretentious enough for them, or is too gory...oh well, long may it continue!

And then there's all the CG work it would have created, for the rest of the run.

I was thinking about that, when I saw the trailer with Negan dragging Rick to the van I thought Rick was going to get the chop, and I thought they did it with Hershel's leg so why not Ricks hand? But I'm glad they didn't do it, I really like Carl, which is testament to the writing and the actor who plays him as I usually can't stand kids in movies/tv!

Horror always gets overlooked when it comes to awards. The only horror film to ever receive best picture Oscar was "Silence of the Lambs". Very snobbish unimaginative people make up the academies.

Let's not forget Fredric March's Academy award performance for DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE (1932)! As you can see, it only took 60 years for the Academy to give the horror genre another prominent award. By the way, did anyone else here think (you know who) kinda resembled Sloth from the GOONIES (albeit a little bloodier)?
